How to Use

1
Pick a template — Browse the tree on the left
2
Review the code — Ctrl+F to search within the file
3
Download & deploy — Adjust Parameters and run the CLI command below

Design Principles

•No hardcoding — all configurable values are exposed as Parameters
•Env parameter auto-switches dev / stg / prd settings (retention, DeletionPolicy)
•Least-privilege IAM, KMS encryption, and cross-stack references (Outputs + ImportValue) included

Deploy

aws cloudformation deploy \
  --stack-name <stack-name> \
  --template-file <template>.yaml \
  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM \
  --parameter-overrides ProjectName=<name> Env=prd

⚠

Resources deployed with Env=prd have DeletionPolicy: Retain. They persist after stack deletion — remove manually via console or CLI when no longer needed.
